California State Polytechnic University-Pomona

CPP's staff is unmatched in many ways. Being an architecture major, I've met some of the best in the field and have been taught by professors who have been in the business a long time. Some classes can be frustrating if you have a teacher who doesn't take the time to show up, answer questions, and offer office hours.

I have a hunger for what I want to learn and I believe Cal Poly will feed me properly as long as I put my part.

I am an English major. I came in thinking that I was pretty good at analyzing literature. The American literature class I am taking right now has shown me that I still have a long ways to go. My teacher is amazing in that he is teaching me so much more than I could get in high school. He helps me to see aspects of the literature that I would have never seen before. The classes at CPP are exceptional. They tie into each other. I notice aspects of psychology in literature and communication. As well as literature aspects in psychology and communication. It's amazing how much knowledge there is here for a student to soak up.

The teachers are very friendly and are quite willing to answer any questions you have during office hours. I've only finished my first year, I truly feel I have learned a lot because of the staffs openness to students.

the campus is beautiful and there are so many helpful students and staff (and plus all of the student programs they offer!). there are plenty of ways to get involved on campus through clubs or greek life or even a job on campus. the academics are a little harder (i'm a pre-vet major), but i can honestly say that i look forward to every class that i get to take here!

I've learned so much here regarding my major, and I really enjoy the style of teaching here at Cal Poly.

At this Polytechnic University you don't just get the PowerPoint lectures, you actually do case studies, you go to different schools, you build certain objects, you shoot your own videos, you get a hands on experience that you can't find anywhere else.

Although this is only my first year, I have already had top-notch professors. I love that this school is all about hands-on learning. Since I plan to major in animal science, this is especially important to me because I need as much experience as I can get. This school is devoted to making sure that their students graduate. There is free tutoring and the staff members encourage their students to visit them during office hours for extra help.

I feel because CPP is on the quarter system, which means all classes are only 3 months long , it goes by faster in a good way. When it is time to take midterms or finals everything you have learned is still fresh and it does not feel like you have to re learn everything to be able to pass the exam. Also the professors and instructors there are very thorough and always willing to help after class or during office hours. There is free tutoring if you are an EOP student so I recommend you apply for the program at the same time you apply for the school. Cal poly has everything you need to succeed.

The motto: Learn by Doing. It is not just a promotion tactic to convince students to apply or attend. CPP is very adamant about maintaining and does a great job on its emphasize on the subject.
